FACE YOUR GIANTS WITH NEW EYES - Giants would not prevent Israel from taking the land – at least not in the faith-filled opinion of Joshua or Caleb. We need more than ever to remember God’s grace and intervention in our lives. Those memories will inspire the faith to face the current giants and their apparent threats. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Our God really is a giant slayer - we only need to remember what He has done before to maintain faith in what He can and will do now - “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” - When Moses sent out the 12 spies to report on the condition of the land of “milk and honey”, ten of the spies brought back a bad report. They focused on the giants, and the great obstacles in their way. They walked with eyes set on the physical realm and said within themselves, “We are but grasshoppers in the sight of these giants!” However, Joshua and Caleb came back with a different perspective. They didn’t ignore the giants or the obstacles or pretend they didn’t exist, but rather focused on their God who had performed miracles upon miracles. Giants, would not prevent Israel from taking the land – at least not in the faith-filled opinion of Joshua or Caleb. So, it is with us!

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” - Romans 8:31-32

 

When Moses sent out the 12 spies to report on the condition of the land of “milk and honey”, ten of the spies brought back a bad report.

They focused on the giants, and the great obstacles in their way.

They walked with eyes set on the physical realm and said within themselves, “We are but grasshoppers in the sight of these giants!” [Numbers 13:28-33]

However, Joshua and Caleb came back with a different perspective.

They didn’t ignore the giants or the obstacles or pretend they didn’t exist, but rather focused on their God who had performed miracles upon miracles, from the series of ten plagues to the parting of the Red Sea, to the miracle of “daily bread” – manna from heaven!

Giants, however large or dangerous they might be, would not prevent Israel from taking the land – at least not in the faith-filled opinion of Joshua or Caleb.

If the God who had disarmed Pharaoh was for them, it was His enemies who should be trembling.

So, it is with us!

If there are “giants” everywhere – “fortified” strongholds – the enemy would love for us to focus on how insignificant and powerless we appear to be, but don't we also have God's miracles to look back on?

Salvation from our sins, to begin with...

But how many times has the Lord answered your prayers since then?

We need more than ever to remember His grace and intervention in our lives.

Those memories will inspire the faith to face the current giants and their apparent threats.

“If God is for us, who can be against us?”

It's not an idle word or an empty epithet.

Our God really is a giant slayer.

We only need to remember what He has done before to maintain faith in what He can and will do now.
